Miss Kclioyy's Former Engagement.

The marriage of Clara Louise KEEL
logg to her manager recalls to New
Workers familiar with the old families
of Philadelphia, how she was engaged
seven years ago to Mr. William Whit
ney, of that city. The Whitneys of
Philadelphia are an old and wealthy
family, and the fiancee Of Miss Kel-
logg, who fell in love with her from an
opera box, was true to the traditions Of
this city in his love for the good things
OF this world. He was reputed con-
noisseur in vine and terrapin, and
showered modest fortune in gifts to
the great American prima donna.
These she returned to him when she
discovered, as rumor had it, that he
was too gallant with the sex to suit
her ideas of fidelity. Mr.. Whitney re-
sided on Rattenhouse Square, near the
Social Art Club, which is compared by
Philiddphians to Heaven, "because
there is never id soul there. "-Nel

THE Archbishop of Munich, Bavaria,

Of Zoellners "Faust" at the theater

that three arcaangels are introduced in

Jel.n 1lcCutlo,syh tn Brom=e:

The bust of John Mccullough has
recently been finished in bronze, and
is to surmount stately pillar Of granite
in the cemetery near Philadelphia in
which the actors remains are buried.
The pose and character selected for
the bust is Mccullough as Virginius.
The well-known classic throat and
head, will, the short, crisp, curling
locks and clean-shaven face, giving the
proper prominence to the equally
classic features of the dead and gone
actor, are reproduced in startlingly
natural manner, and the classic folds
of drapery over the shoulders are also
wonderfully realistic. The sculptor,
Mr.. W. Clark Noble, is distinctly
American in one phase of his art, and
that is he has never spent one hour in
foreign travel.

Beecher was man of rare power and

not remember that the congregation
ever made for itself record of good
deeds. Did it send forth missionaries
to the heather? Did it help any edu-
cational institutions? Did it establish
city missions or asylums? We have
not heard of any such. We would al
most as so soon expect to find missions
or other Christian enterprises associ-
ated with a respectable thaater as with
Plymouth Church, so-called. It was a
church that lived to its own honor,
pleasure, and glory; and Beecher was
literally paid to perform his part in
entertaining the company"

4 NATION OF PnIL0.oPnERs.

A correspondent writing: FROM Mex
leo, censures the people. of that country
for singular cause. "To the average
Mexican" he says. "the idea of death
has no terrors, and he dies as inditfer-
emily as he has lived. In many villages
the custom is still extant of decorating
dead children with the wings of geese
and turkeys, papercrowns, ribbons and
flowers; then marching them about the
streets seated in a chair, and burying
them amid the noise of tirecrackers and
minstrels playing polkas and landau
goes." Looking at the matter philo-
sophically, ought not the average Mex
lean be praised instead OF blamed for
having no. constant terror of death.
We do. not admire the introduction of
opera bouffe music at burial, of course
but apart from that exhibition Of pc
culiar taste, are the Mexicans not wiser
and more. consistent than We who weep
and wall because our friends have gone
to Heaven?

Make the ITce Good.

Theenature of tree is not determined
by the fruit it bears. The fruit simply
tells of what sort it is. A thorn tree is
not made pear tree by gradually be-
coming accustomed to bearing pears.
To change its nature there must be
radical treatment. The body must be
sawed off and new life grated in. It
becomes pear tree before it bears
pears. The fruit tells Enthusiastically of
the change in the nature, but it did
not cause the change.
So every person, to bear the fruits OF
holiness must first be made holy. The
body of sin must be destroyed in order
that henceforth we should not serve
sin-Rom. 6.vi. Here is where many
fail. They resolve with all sincerity
against their corruptions. This is
right; but this is not sufficient. If they
stop their they will fail. The vessel
that has weakness in its hull may
make successful voyages but in time it
will encounter storm in which it will
go down. So those who so no farther
than their own efforts carry them in
becoming holy, may run we'll for a
time, but after while they give way in
an Emergency, and find they have not
strength for trials. What is wanted is
to wait ON God till an inward work is
wrought which makes one new crea.

A Chat ,rt.h zr.rrenes Berreet.

IN the course of a pleasant chat al
pittsburgh Lawrence Barrett said in
reference to the report that he and Mr..
Booth contemplated a European trip
and the building Of great theater in
New York: Both rumors are par
TALLY correct. We have in contempla-
ton the erection of metropolitan
theater, although not exclusively for
the legitimate drama. It will be at
least two years before the scheme can
be consummated, but when it is all
sorts of pure and meritorious works
will be produced. As to the European
trip, we may make brief visit to
England, but it will be very brief, in
deed. America is good enough for
me, and l guess for Mr.. Booth also."
what is your opinion of the Shake
speare-Bacon controversy" he was
asked.
"Don't Let us talk about that at all.
Everybody knows what I think about
it, and it only irritates me to discuss
the question. However, I shall treat
it exhaustively in magazine article
very shortly, though the Donnelly side
will receive no attention from me what
ever"
The joint tour, he said, had been
very successful, adding that it was but
the beginning of better things in the
line of Shakespearean plays.

Sunday Thoughts.

Wee and corruption, when they have
tainted the heart, are sufficient to over
set the greatest abilities.
Providence chooses for US more
wisely than We can choose for our
selves.
After all the tolls and labors Of life,
and all the vain struggles which we
maintain for pre-eminence and distinc-
ton, we shall find, at the conclusion of
the whole scene, that to fear God, and
keep his commandments, is the whole
duty of man.
It is common and just observation,
that they who have lived always in
affluence and ease, strangers to the
miseries of life, are liable to contract
hardness of heart, with respect to all
the concerns of others Wrapped up
in their own pleasures they behold with
Indifference the most affecting scenes
of distress.
The plans Of divine wisdom are too
largo and comprehensive to be dis
cerned by us in all their extent; and
where we see only by parts we must
frequently be at a loss in Judging OF
the whole.
When the religious fear Of God pos
sesses the heart it expels the ignoble
fear Of man. and becomes the principle
of courage and magnanimity.
Impressions Of religion often check
vice in its career. They prevent il from
proceeding to its utmost length; and
though they do not entirely reform the
offender, they serve to maintain order
in society. Persons who are now bad,
might probably have been worse with
out them, and the world have suffered
more from unrestrained RIGHTEOUSNESS.
They often .sow latent seeds of good
ness in the heart, which proper cir
cumstances OF occasions afterwards
ripen, though the reformation OF the
offender may not be so conspicuous as
his former enormities have been. -

IT VAS MADAM,s OWy.

Mrs. Fremont, in her "Souvenirs of
My Time, gives an account of Mrs.
Cruger, a,woman noted in Virginia for
her intellectual force and eccentricity.
For twenty years she spent every
winter at Washington, where her house
was the rendezvous of many Of the
leading men of the day. Burr, Duane.
Calhoun, and others, and afterward
OF those young men, as she called them,
Benton, Clay, and Webster.
Mrs. Fremont saw her in her extreme
old age, on her plantation near Wheeling
and describes the lonely old woman in
her great, stone mansion, in which she
was locked up, and where she slept
alone every night She would not
permit even maid to attend her.
"Of what should I be afraid ?" she
said, haughtily, when her physician re-
monstrated with her. sOf death? I
do not expect him these twenty years"
She was then 80 years old.
She lived after the period of which
Mrs. Fremont writes, until the civil
war closed, and died at the age of 102.
With much difficulty she was persuaded
to make will, and disposed of the
shepard" and "Cruger" farms inher-
tied from her two husbands. The Jaw
yer paused, pen in hand.
"You have not disposed of the .Begg's
plantation"
"That: was my own when Il was a
girl" she said, calmly.
II know. To whom do you bequeath
it?"
The withered centenarian raised her.
self erect, her eyes flashing fire. "To
